Kona

Kona Rove NRB

Kona Rove NRB

This is the Kona NRB. It’s what the kids are calling a “Gravel Bike” these days. Kona thinks it’s the definition of a New Road Bike (NRB), and they may be right. Road bikes are more versatile than ever. A lot of them, like this Kona, have wheels for pavement as well as dirt. They have disc brakes, wide handlebars and lots of attachment points in case you feel like installing racks, fenders, or other storage packs. The tires measure a whopping 47mm wide (on a 650b size rim) so you get a very stable, really comfortable, and surprisingly fast ride.

Kona Mahuna

Mahuna 29′er

Here is a great option for getting into mountain biking without spending a lot of money.
The Kona Mahuna gives you all of the features that you’ll expect to find on more expensive 29″ wheeled hardtails. The frame is made from light-weight aluminum tubing, the fork has a lockout, stout tapered headtube and light aluminum sliders, it comes with mid-level Shimano drivetrain components and reliable Shimano hydraulic disc brakes.
Coming in around $800 dollars, this is a great option for new off-road riders and cyclists who are quickly growing (in size or skill level). The Mahuna comes in sizes that will fit riders under 5’6″ who still want the big 29″ wheels as well as sizes for taller riders.

Kona Cinder Cone

Kona Cinder Cone

This bike isn’t entry level, and it’s not so specialized that it’s a drag on the “wrong” type of trail. The Cinder Cone is the top of the bell curve, a spot where you get the most for your money, the most versatility, all of the features, and great durability.

The Cinder Cone gets you into all of the design elements that you want. There’s a Rockshox air-sprung RL Gold fork. There’s the Sram NX 1 x 11 shifting system. Shimano MT500 hydraulic disc brakes. A WTB Volt saddle. Schwalbe Knobby Nic tires. No dropper seatpost, but with the money that you’ll save on the Cinder Cone you should have the cash leftover to get exactly what you want..

Kona Lana’i

The Lanai

It can be gravel paths, easy singletrack trails through the Grand Forest, the Mandus Olson trail on your way to school. Your definition of great mountain biking adventures can even include a paved ride around town, whatever you like, the Kona Lana’i is a great way to start your adventure.

The Lana’i comes equipped with WTB 27.5” tires than can handle a variety of terrain. You get disc brakes, front suspension, a Shimano Altus drivetrain and wide riser bars. It’s all bolted to a strong and quick-handling aluminum frame.

Kona Honzo series

Honzo AL 29

Kona’s Honzo models were made for the Pacific Northwest.

The idea behind these bikes was to use specific frame geometry, long-travel front forks and really big volume tires to create nimble hardtail mountain bikes that have the same capabilities as 5″ travel full-suspension trail bikes.

Kona started by kicking out the front ends, slackening the head angles to add stability and make room for long 120mm travel forks. The chain stays are made pretty short on these bikes, tucking the rear wheel under your center of gravity and bringing the overall wheelbase length back into line.

Big Honzo (27+ tires)

These designs probably wouldn’t work somewhere with sticky clay soil (there’s not a lot of clearance between the fat rear tires and the frame tubes) but we don’t have that problem around here, so the Honzo’s design works perfectly on Pacific Northwest singletrack.

Honzo CR Race

There are high performing carbon-framed Honzos to choose as well as aluminum versions that are plenty light and easy on your budget. Choose a model with 29″ tires if speed is what you’re after or wide 27 Plus tires if you want greater cushion or help with obstacles.

The component picks are designed for maximum fun. Fat Schwalbe Knobby Nic or Maxxis Ardent tires will give you enough traction to ride up glass walls. You get Sram or Shimano 1 x 11 drivetrains, Dropper seat posts (on most of the versions) and burly wheels with boost spacing for maximum stiffness. These bikes will give you very little fuss over the years and they expect nothing in return but mud and abuse.

Kona Process

Kona Process 165

Although these bikes look like motorcycles with the engines removed (acoustic motorcycle?) they’re actually pretty light and efficient.

Kona’s Process series of enduro mountain bikes are extremely capable and perfectly balanced. If black-diamond level trails, ski-lift access, big jumps and insane speed are your thing, we have a bike for you.

Right out of the box these bikes are ready for anything Whistler or Steven’s Pass can throw at you. They come stock with dropper posts, meaty tubeless tires, single-chainring bomb-proof drivetrains (like Sram Eagle 1 x 12) and long-travel suspension.

Process 153

There are nine Process variations to choose from. How do you choose? Pick your wheel size: 27.5” or 29”. Decide the balance of trail capabilities that you want: A downhill and stunt oriented version with lots of travel? A light and nimble everyday trail bike? Something in between? It’s a fairly straightforward decision by choosing the amount of rear suspension travel from 134mm to 165mm. With aluminum models starting around $2000 and carbon fiber versions with premium equipment topping out at $6K, there’s bound to be a bike that you like.

Kona Hula

Kona Hula 24″

Is your 8 year old kind of picky? The Kona Hula might be the bike to get. Kids (both boys and girls) seem to like the colors, the ride quality, and the way the parts work.

Like most 24″ wheeled bikes, this Kona will work great for your 8 to 12 year old child.

The Hula model is the next step beyond 20″ coaster-brake starter bikes. Perfect for riding to school, trying out the Grand Forest trails, or commuting to work (it’s never too early!). The Hula has gears to help tame a hilly neighborhood and a scaled-down suspension fork to smooth out the trails. The wheels have quick-release axles so loading the bike into the car will be a snap.

Family rides will be more fun, as these light-weight geared bikes are designed so that your kids can lead the way, not struggle behind.

Made with aluminum frames and components, this bike can fit a water bottle and it comes with a quick adjust lever for the seat height.

Kona Blast

Kona Blast

Not too small. Not too big. Not too expensive. Just right.

Built around 27.5″ wheels, this bike is just the right combination of fast and capable. The in-between wheel size is incredibly versatile in the varied conditions that you’ll find on local trails. The Blast will roll over mossy roots with ease (just like bigger 29″ wheeled bikes), but you’ll have more fun on tight and twisty trails as this bike accelerates and changes direction much more quickly than bigger wheeled bikes.

Notice that the Blast looks a little different? The bike comes with a short stem and wide bars for maximum handling and obstacle jumping fun, with a longer travel fork and slackened front end geometry. They are created to be more versatile and playful than your average hardtail.

By the way, the folks at Kona aren’t designing bikes for Hawaii’s trails, they’re neighbors here in the Pacific Northwest. If you feel like riding your Blast on it’s home trail system, let us know and we’ll give you directions to their Bellingham headquarters and the woods where the designers play with their bikes.

Kona Fire Mountain

Fire Mountain in orange

Not too small. Not too big. Kona’s Fire Mountain hardtails are just right.

Built around 27.5″ wheels, these bikes are just the right combination of fast and capable. The in-between wheel size is incredibly versatile in the varied conditions that you’ll find on local trails. These Konas will roll over mossy roots with ease (just like bigger 29″ wheeled bikes), but you’ll have more fun on tight and twisty trails as these bikes accelerate and change direction much more quickly than bigger wheeled bikes.

Speaking of things that happen to be just right, the equipment level and price also seem to hit sweet spots for a lot of riders. These Konas are not beginner-only bikes intended for the street or an occasional run on the Burke-Gilman trail. At the same time, they’re inexpensive and versatile enough to be employed by new mountain bikers who aren’t sure where, how, or how often they’ll hit the dirt.

Kona Fire Mountain in black

Take the suspension fork for example: the Suntour XCR version on this bike is still a coil-spring activated fork like on most “entry level” bikes, but it has 32mm aluminum sliders instead of smaller-diameter chromed steel ones, saving a full pound of weight and avoiding some of the corrosion issues common to chromed forks. The fork also has a tapered steerer tube, a light and rigid design common to more expensive bikes. These are good upgrades, ones that usually get skipped over on the way to bikes in the $1000 price range.

What else? You get a 9-cog cassette on the rear wheel instead of eight, a Sram crankset with replaceable chainrings, aluminum pedals instead of plastic ones and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes. All on a bike priced around $700.

Kona Jake the Snake

Kona Jake the Snake

Kona has produced a cyclocross bike for over twenty years now. Early versions were notable for their versatility and modern design. Sometimes the bicycle reviewers were critical of Kona for not being “Euro” enough. Review writers would ding them for having things like water bottle cage mounts or fender eyelets on a racing bike. They would bemoan Kona’s do-everything approach to a bike that was supposed to be raced for 45 minutes a weekend during the autumn and early winter and then sit in the garage for the rest of the year.

These days we applaud versatility.

Like previous Jake the Snake models, this one handles great and is built with an impressive array of smart and durable component choices. You still get a bike than is fast and light (feel free to race it on the weekends), but the versatility has just gotten better over the years. You now get TRP Spyre disc brakes instead of cyclocross cantilevers so you can actually stop the bike on steep descents or when you’re carrying heavy cargo. The Shimano 105 drivetrain has a broader gear range than the cross bikes of twenty years ago, so you can ride up the hills that you used to have to walk, and you can keep up to speed on fast road rides as the top end of the gear range is now similar to that of a road-only racing bike.

Another thing that has changed since the late ’90′s? We can sell you a Kona Jake the Snake instead of telling you why the cyclocross model that we stock is almost as good.

Kona Coco

Kona Coco

Hybrids can be stylish too.

Fitness bikes and basic get-around-town bikes often get overlooked by the designers at the big bike companies. If you’ve been looking around for a good commuter or grocery-getter you’ve probably noticed that you waded into a sea of grey bikes. Some of the brands out there throw a few reflective stripes onto their frames and call it good. Not Kona.

We think this Kona looks fabulous.

The mixte frame style is something you usually only find with much heavier steel tubing. It’s a design that makes getting on and off the bike easier (particularly when the bike is loaded down with bulky cargo). This twin top-tube design also happens to be stronger and less twisty that a typical low-step frame.

Mixte style

The Coco isn’t just about style. There are a whole bunch of clever design elements. You get all-weather rideability (is that a word?) with fenders and disc brakes. There are chain guards to keep your clothing from snagging. There’s a Shimano “shadow” design rear derailleur that stays out of the way of your panniers (and is less likely to get damaged if the bike falls over). There’s a swept back handlebar that gives you a more comfortable riding position than merely raising the hand position higher up. You get tough Schwalbe street tires with reflective side walls and… The brake levers have an integrated bell!

Kona Hei Hei Trail

Kona Hei Hei Trail Supreme

Although these bikes look like motorcycles with the engines removed (acoustic motorcycle?) they’re actually pretty light and efficient.

Really a perfect choice for The Pacific Northwest. Stable and capable enough for the trickier trails at Whistler, Stevens Pass and Duthie Hill. Tough enough to handle mud and months of rainy trails. Agile and fun on twisty singletrack while still riding efficiently on smooth logging roads.

While there are a couple of different levels of Hei Hei mountain bikes, the Trail Supreme is a fantastic choice. You get a carbon frame, a dropper post, premium Fox suspension and Shimano XTR components.

Kona Dew Series

Kona Dew Deluxe

With Kona you have three great options for your ride to work: The Dew, the Dr. Dew, and the Dew Deluxe.
These bikes feature some great component choices for foul weather riding and long-term durability. The riding position is really upright on these bikes too, so expect them to win you over on a test ride if your flexibility isn’t that great.
A Kona Dew model isn’t likely to be the lightest or flashiest option available, but they’re tough as nails, and people ride the heck out of these bikes for years and years. The next time you’re on a ferry run into Seattle take a look at the battered bikes leaning against the rails of the car deck. Bet you spot one of these.
To tell you the truth, we’ve been pretty sick of these bikes for a long time now.

For years Kona was the main bike line of our local competitor, Bainbridge Island Cycle. If we lost a new commuter bike sale to B.I. Cycle, the chances were pretty good that sooner or later we would see that rider out on a new kona Dew.

B.I. Cycle only sells Specialized branded bikes now (there may have been a bit of coercion, Specialized doesn’t play well with other bike companies), so they have no room for Kona.
Their loss is our gain. Today you can pick a Kona here at Classic Cycle.

Kona Wo

Kona Wo

Fat bikes are fun.
Practical, for a lot of our local trails, they’re not.
What the heck, practical isn’t everything. Nobody said that you needed four-wheel drive, 30″ of ground clearance and internet service in your car either. You still have fun driving to the grocery store in your Hummer H2.

Yeah but the thing is, you want to play around on the trails or try to cruise the beaches at low tide, but otherwise aren’t really sure how much you’d ride a fat bike. It is the Pacific Northwest after all. We’re not really known for snowy or sandy trails.

big tires

We get it.

That’s why we have the Wo and the Wozo from the good folks at Kona bicycles. The frames are made out of aluminum, so they’re light and rust resistant. The Wozo has really fat 6″ wide tires that roll over the mushiest surfaces easily. The bike is outfitted with nice lightweight gear and comes in around $2500. The Wo has 5″ wide tires for good floatation across soft trails, and the bike is less than $1600, so you can try out those weird cycling adventures that you had in mind without dropping a lot of cash.
